Not impressed with the movie tv news today.

What about Wish?

A large Pandora store at Disney Springs (with smaller shops in each of the parks) confirmed!

Fully stocked with Disneyland merchandise

this new video showing views of the new fantasy springs expansion, looking very close to getting done, looks incredible.

Awww look who is a brave little internet warrior. I mean your response to what I said makes absolutely no sense but I’m proud of you. You deserve a pat on the back.

Oh and since you brought it up I go commando. Like to feel that breeze if ya know what I mean.

That seems very contrarian to an unwavering shill for an entertainment company…

Hint: they really don’t “love” you back

Seems like someone is using one of those word of the day calendars they got for the holidays. And just to be clear, who is the “unwavering shill” in your scenario? Is it the guy in the next post?? He seems pretty shilly. Sorry but you still aren’t making much sense.

And thanks for that hint.

I feel that my sister and I had a pretty good first day at D23. We got into the Legends panel via standby queue and my sister had a reservation for the Disney studios panel. The only real bad thing was the rain as we both left our ponchos back in Florida.

Wish they would do more Disney Parks shows on Disney+

You would think that would be a no brainer.

I would want another one like the Iwerks Imagineering one instead of that other one they did.

I can live with a riff of the melody, but only after it is performed 'straight' at least once. Which is typical of Broadway.

What I can't stand is a cover of a well-known song and the main theme is never sung straight but is all riff.

So, I'd have to hear the whole song to judge.

Only the end was riffed.

 

[correcaminos]

Wonder if she's read all the bad reviews Pinocchio got...

To be fair she was one of the better parts of the movie.

The One day at Disney series, the Imagineering story series, the Animal Kingdom series, prop culture series… some of the absolute best content they’ve put on D+.

Extending the prop culture series should have been a no brainer, the Disney archives are packed full of amazing things we all want to see. It would be so cheap to do a weekly show where they just unbox a couple collectibles and tell the story behind it. It would be fascinating and easy ratings.

I didn't see it in this thread, but Chapek said at the Legends panel that Avengers Campus is expanding and more details will be announced on Sunday.

 

[Squishy]

Why is Joe Rohde still not a Disney legend?

 

[trainplane3]

I just wanted to call out the best cosplay at D23 is done by Rocco yet again:

 

[Indy_UK]

How how loud were the boos Chapek had then?

Don't take on Sir Walter. You will lose.

If your up for a kid friendly version of Monty Python then go for it..

I'm probably alone on this, but that actually looks pretty good for a kid's film! Quite a cast!

Original Figment was fine in the context of the ride, but I don't think he works without Dreamfinder. I've never really understood why people are desperate to keep him around if Dreamfinder isn't included.

I don't know, he's cute, well-designed, and endearing in terms of a sense of positivity and childlike wonder, at least in his original incarnation. I think the context of the character goes beyond the ride to include Epcot which enhances Figment's appeal as a character the conjures up associations with a place people enjoy.

I can't remember if Dreamfinder was also featured in those short educational films Disney made using Figment in the 1980s, but either way I think he still worked as a somewhat naive character excited to learn new things without having Dreamfinder next to him. He's mostly a happy and curious kid in the form of a little purple dragon wearing a fetching sweater, but I'm not sure that gives Figment any less depth of character compared to most of the Fab Five.
